The Apache Jakarta PMC is sorry to announce the retirement of the Jakarta Slide subproject. After it's last release in December 2004, development activity was significantly reduced and came to a total standstill this year. Without a minimum developer community that can release security fixes, we have no choice but to retire Slide. We'll keep at least one of the mailing lists open for a transition period, so users can discuss alternatives and migration away from Slide. Further use of the Slide codebase is discouraged.
One alternative to Slide is provided by the Apache Jackrabbit project. Jackrabbit has a healthy, active developer community and provides, among others things:

About HttpComponents Core -
The HttpCore components implement the most fundamental aspects of the
HTTP protocol. They are nonetheless sufficient to develop basic client
side and server side HTTP services with a minimal footprint and no
external dependencies. HttpCore NIO extensions can be used to build
asynchronous HTTP services based on non-blocking I/O model capable of
handling a great number of simultaneous connections with just a few I/O
threads.
HttpCore will form the foundation of the future releases of Apache HttpClient.
The Apache JMeter team are pleased to announce the release of Apache

Jakarta HiveMind release 1.1.1 is now available; this is a bug fix release. This release addresses performance bottlenecks in HiveMind related to the use of unqualified class names, and the use of the threaded and pooled service lifecycle models. HiveMind 1.1.1 is a drop-in replacement for HiveMind 1.1, and is recommended for use with Tapestry 4.0 applications.
After nearly two years of work, the Tapestry development team is proud to announce the next major release of the Tapestry web application framework.Tapestry is an open-source framework for creating dynamic, robust, highly scalable web applications in Java. Tapestry complements and builds upon the standard Java Servlet API, and so it works in any servlet container or application server.
Tapestry divides a web application into a set of pages, each constructed from components. This provides a consistent structure, allowing the Tapestry framework to assume responsibility for key concerns such as URL construction and dispatch, persistent state storage on the client or on the server, user input validation, localization/internationalization, and exception reporting. Developing Tapestry applications involves creating HTML templates using plain HTML, and combining the templates with small amounts of Java code using (optional) XML descriptor files. In Tapestry, you create your application in terms of objects, and the methods and properties of those objects -- and specifically not in terms of URLs and query parameters. Tapestry brings true object oriented development to Java web applications.
Tapestry is specifically designed to make creating new components very easy, as this is a routine approach when building applications. The distribution includes over fifty components, ranging from simple output components all the way up to complex data grids and tree navigators.
Tapestry is architected to scale from tiny applications all the way up to massive applications consisting of hundreds of individual pages, developed by large, diverse teams. Tapestry easily integrates with any kind of backend, including J2EE, HiveMind and Spring.
Tapestry 4.0 represents a significant advance over Tapestry 3.0. The following are the most significant changes between the two releases:
Tapestry is released under the Apache Software Licence 2.0.
Tapestry is distributed as a combined binary/source distribution, and an additional documentation distribution. Tapestry may be downloaded from the Apache Mirrors.
----
-- The Jakarta Tapestry Development Team
The latest (and hopefully, final) release candidate for Jakarta Tapestry 4.0 is now available. Tapestry is a component based web application framework that provides lots of functionality with minimal Java coding, and creates an environment that supports high levels of reuse.

Tapestry is provided as a combined binary/source distribution, and a separate documentation distribution.

The first release candidate for Jakarta HiveMind 1.1 has been released. It contains no functionality differences from the beta-3 release.
The Apache Tomcat team is proud to announce the immediate availability of Tomcat 5.5.12-alpha. This version contains several bug fixes, including an import change to session attribute storage concurrency that is required by the upcoming Servlet Specification v2.5. In addition to these changes, this release is a significant milestone for two reasons:
This release is the last one to be done using the CVS repository at Apache. The Tomcat team is moving to the Subversion (SVN) repository as part of the overall Apache initiative to do so. Access instructions for the SVN repository are available at http://www.apache.org/dev/version-control.html. The move is expected to be complete within the next week.
As part of Tomcat's move to a top-level project (TLP) at Apache, we will be migrating our content to http://tomcat.apache.org, which is still under construction at this time. That site will have its own download pages and related information. We will keep the key jakarta URLs intact with redirection, but please keep an eye out and update your bookmarks to http://tomcat.apache.org as/when appropriate. As part of the TLP move, distribution names have changed from jakarta-tomcat-* to apache-tomcat-*, and similar minor branding changes will gradually become visible in the web site and documentation. We thank the Jakarta project for its support over the years, and we will continue collaborating on projects and issues of common interest.
